The banality of Valentine Day 2/11/2006 11:09:41 AM HK Correspondent Source: http://www.haindavakeralam.org/PageModule.aspx?PageID=667&SKIN=C Christian western confidence has fallen to low ebb. Those who dreamed of world evangelization and conquest are now desperate. There is a crisis of confidence. The international dimensions of the current malaise indicate that it cannot be attributed to western failure of nerve or marketable ideas. They have lost the capacity to confront non-Christian world militarily but they have devised plans for cultural invasion, shape public opinion, and undermine spiritual traditions. With the help of multi national corporations, the Christian west is now engaged in a psychological warfare to breakdown the barriers to free market activity, smash through or bypass the culture and spiritual tradition. This will give way before organized Christian evangelists can promote their well-packaged conversion products. Celebrating Valentine Day and selling Valentine Cards in India is a cultural invasion that introduces one of the worst features of the collapsing Christian empire. It is a deliberate and cleverly devised plan of deceitful battle for our mind. It is a subtle attempt to liberate Indians from their rich culture and enslave them with rigid, fundamentalist, exclusive dogma. It is a deliberate plan to force Hindus to discard their spiritual tradition and force them to escape from freedom to slavery. Promoting Valentines Day is a deliberate ploy to trivialize our cultural tradition, spiritual festivals, social customs and religious holidays. In the name of love, romance and courtship, Valentine Day is used to promote pre-marital sex, and trivial, valueless western life style. For the multi national corporations, India is a market place. The marketing experts, the media and the business people join together to promote Valentine cards, fast foods and party gadgets to make money. They neglect traditional culture and promote fast food culture and throw away products. The marketing of discarded western goods and meaningless cultural festivals devalues our spiritual past and create a cultural crisis. A nation is known, and the people have been recognized on the basis of religion, art, festivals, customs, food, language and spiritual tradition. A nation’s cultural habits and religious practices make them unique. India has survived hundreds of years of Muslim invasion and Christian colonization because Hindus were able to preserve the spiritual tradition. Now the Christian west is attempting to decimate our eternal Hindu culture by dubious means. This Valentine Day celebration is a clear form of cultural invasion, a psychological trick to oppress our dynamic, vibrant and eternal culture. The deliberate and cunning strategy to devalue our Hindu culture needs to be resisted. Hindus need to examine how western cultural habits and religious holidays like Valentine Day are infiltrating our society. Our survival as a nation, our social, political, economic, cultural future depends on resisting cultural invasion disguised in many forms including Valentine Day. It is a deceptive, open and covert form of psychological warfare to annihilate our Hindu tradition. There is nothing wrong in modernizing our nation, embracing progressive ideas, but denial of our rich Hindu cultural traditions and festivals for flimsy, meaningless consumer products and transient habits are dangerous for the future of our nation. It is time to resist cultural invasion and keep our distance from festivals like Valentine Day.

Three theories: 1.Valentine was a Roman priest who was martyred during the persecution of Claudius the Goth around A.D. 269 or 270 and buried on the Flaminian Way. 2.Valentine was a bishop of Terni martyred in Rome. 3. Valentine as a young, though unsaved helped Christians during a time of persecution. He was caught and put in jail, became a believer there and was clubbed to death for this on February 14, 269. While in prison he is said to have sent messages to friends saying, "Remember your Valentine" and "I love you". In one story it is said that Valentine was a priest that secretly married couples, defying the law of Emperor Claudius which temporarily forbid marriages. Valentine was imprisoned for refusing to worship pagan gods. Making friends with the jailers daughter, he is said to have cured her through prayer, and on the date of his execution (Feb. 14th) he is said to written her a not signed "Your Valentine". The one thing we can be sure of is that at least one person by the name of Valentine did live and that he was killed for being a Christian. Beyond this we are on shaky ground. The 14th of February was set apart as the special day to remember Saint Valentine. This was one day before the Roman feast of Lupercalia, a pagan love festival. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius changed Lupercalia from the 15th to the 14th to try and stop the pagan celebration. The church realized that there was nothing wrong with celebrating love, only the pagan elements insulted God. Lupercalia was done away with, but it had left it's mark on Saint Valentine's Day. (source: http://www.bright.net/~magates/Valentine/). Basant Panchmi Hindu groups have appealed to the country's youth to boycott the 'Western festival' and instead observe the 'Basant Panchmi' as a day of love and friendship in a 'decent Indian way'. Unmarried couples get societal license for sex on the day of Saint Valentine's day. How ironic of a Saint to permit licentious behavior! Indian value system places ultra-importance for a bramacharya to gain inner control over this all-consuming primal force and direct it toward the Supreme Brahman. Unwed people celebrating valentines day will most definitely lead to "sex before marriage", unwed mothers and other social ills that plague western society. Western societies have excellent government programs to tackle social issues and steer clear of catastrophic disasters like AIDS and other STDS. Hindu festivals are banned in the Northeast. Indian youth was imitating the Western values at a time when the Western people were increasingly attracted to Indian ethos. It is ironic that even after celebrating Valentine's Day, the West has the highest divorce rates in the world. According the Scientific American magazine: Divorce rates in most Western countries are much higher now than they were before 1970, probably resulting in part from the growing economic independence of women, which makes it easier for wives to walk away from bad marriages. Only 67 percent of American women aged 35 to 44 were legally married as of 1998. In Britain, divorce rates are up as well according to ABCNews.com May 17.2002). It is an indirect imposition of cultural change and consumerism for the benefit of big businesses. It has nothing to do with any religion at all nor with expression of love. <moderator's note: remainder of message, mostly dealing with pedophile clergy in U.S., snipped, as not relevant to Amma.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
